    The hundreds of soldiers led by Qu Yi and those who died first were almost the same as those captured by Commander Gao Shun.  The fastest and most eye-catching updates are all heavy-armed elite infantry. They are all the absolute elites carefully selected from thousands of troops. They are strong troops who are not afraid of any strong enemy.  Even their numbers are about the same.  The difference is probably that when trapped in the camp, they usually use horseback maneuvers.  The best way to deal with the dead warriors first is to use the trapped camps at the same level as them to fight each other and use strong against strong.  Although his eyes were anxious, Xu Huang, who looked extremely calm, knew this very well.  But the trapped camp is still on the other side of the river at the moment. They must be equipped with correspondingly heavy weapons and armor to display their full strength. It is too late to come over at this time.  Not to mention the trapped camp in Yuanshui, the sergeants crossing the river at this moment did not even have heavy weapons in their hands.  It seems that not long after, those iron turtles wearing heavy armor will approach the military formation that is vulnerable to close combat.  With the river beach behind him, Xu Huang had no way out at this time.  You can't swim back, right?  "Poof!" Xu Huang exerted force with both arms, and with the strong bow in his hand, he instantly shot a sharp arrow made of fine steel through a small flaw into the armored turtle formation a hundred steps away.  After a muffled groan, a heavy armored sergeant who arrived at the camp first was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.  Xu Huang tried his best to calm down the violent rise and fall of his chest, trying to stabilize his slightly rapid breathing as much as possible.  In a very short period of time, he had shot more than ten sharp arrows in succession, and all of them were accurate!  However, no matter how strong Xu Huang¡¯s personal archery skills were, he could not kill hundreds of people in front of him by himself.  Feeling the sourness coming from both arms, looking at his fingers trembling slightly.  Xu Huang's brows were already twisted into the character "Sichuan".  Looking at the heavy armored soldiers slowly approaching under the huge firelight, watching those sharp arrows being deflected in vain by the extremely strong metal shield.  Xu Huang spat heavily on the ground.  He is really anxious now.  ??Perhaps in the future, Lord Taiwei will have ways to deal with this heavy armored soldier who is difficult to be damaged by arrows.  However, Xu Huang's future was about to come to an end.  Not only is his future bright, but looking at the military formation that has been surrounded on three sides, whether he can escape today is a matter of doubt.  ¡°Asshole!¡± Xu Huang cursed in a low voice, but quickly forced himself to calm down.  In this crisis situation, it is the time to test the personal ability of the general.  "There are no heavy weapons and heavy armor to fight against, no powerful crossbows to shoot directly. There are no trebuchets and heavy armored cavalry. There are only crossbows that cannot shoot through huge shields and heavy armors, sword and shield soldiers who lack equipment, and jars of kerosene.  Huoyouhuoyou?!" Xu Huang's originally worried eyes suddenly widened.  He finally thought of a way to deal with this heavy infantry.  "Take out all the kerosene and fire up the rockets!" Xu Huang shouted angrily.  Xu Huang¡¯s tactic is fire attack.  Ordinary fire attacks are of little significance, because even if those greases and the like stick to the metal armor, they will not have much burning effect.  However, the kerosene brought with the ship was different.  Once these kerosene with aluminum shavings, magnesium powder and other additives added is ignited and contaminated, no matter what it is, even metal armor and metal giant shields will also be ignited!  And it¡¯s still extremely long.  Ghostly fire that burns like tarsal maggots.  Although he didn't know the principle, Xu Huang, who had seen its power, immediately thought of using this method to deal with Xiandengying.  Soon, hundreds of sealed metal cans were sent to the military formation.  These were originally used by Gao Yang when preparing fire attacks for the crossbowmen. They were all placed in metal cans for safety.  After opening it, the crossbowmen quickly put the crossbow arrows wrapped in cloth and dipped them in kerosene, and then quickly sealed the jars.  This thing makes no distinction between friend and foe, no matter who gets attached to it, they are all dead.  After the arrow was ignited, an extremely dense wave of surging rockets rose into the sky accompanied by the shocking sound of the horn, illuminating the dark night brightly.  These rocket groups, which were like meteor showers, crashed into the military formation of the first camp like flying fire meteors.  "This. This, this?!" Yuan Shao looked at the Xianden camp that turned into a sea of ????fire in an instant, and listened to the death cries of the soldiers who were struggling and screaming in the fire.  Yuan Shao was completely dumbfounded.  Hundreds of elite heavy armored soldiers have lost their original solid battle formation.  They desperately slapped the blue flames attached to their bodies, threw away the weapons and shields in their hands, took off the heavy armor on their bodies, fell to the ground and rolled around trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.  And desperate yet hopeful, he reached out to his companions for help.  Because ascending the camp first attracted most of Gao Yang¡¯s army¡¯s attention, YuanThe main force of troops led by ?? had quietly approached the crossbow formation of Gaoyang Army unknowingly.  It didn't take long for them to successfully defeat Gao Yang's army.  But at this moment, thousands of sergeants all watched helplessly as hundreds of soldiers from the Xianden Battalion struggled in the sea of ????fire, surrounded by strange flames.  They were all frightened.  The strong giant shields and heavy armor can no longer protect these extremely brave warriors who first set foot on the camp.  The all-pervasive blazing flames devoured these extremely brave Hebei warriors bit by bit, and eventually turned them into handfuls of ashes.  "Huh~~~" Seeing that the fire attack was effective, Xu Huang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.  The crisis in front of him was finally solved by him.  There are no heavy armored soldiers who can withstand the rain of arrows standing in front.  The powerful power of the crossbowmen burst out instantly.  After the first camp was wiped out, sharp arrows flying all over the sky quickly knocked down a large number of Yuan Shao's sergeants to the ground.  At the same time, another batch of thousands of reinforcements boarded the river beach, and the power in Xu Huang's hands was greatly enhanced.  "Withdraw~~~Withdraw~~~" Yuan Shao, who looked extremely ugly, stared at the strangely shaped elite soldiers who had arrived at the camp first.  Gritting his teeth, he gave the order to retreat.  After the Gaoyang Army on the opposite side received reinforcements, the powerful rain of arrows from thousands of crossbowmen could no longer be defeated by forceful attacks.  Although Yuan Shao has a large number of soldiers and horses, it is impossible for him to use them all at once.  The terrain of the battlefield and the limitations of the dark night allowed him to invest only a little bit of his troops.  But once the number of troops is reduced, it is not an elite division like the first to set up camp.  It was just a target for the crossbowmen of Gaoyang Army.  ¡°Moreover, it is now past the darkest time before dawn, and the sky in the distance has begun to gradually turn white.  It's going to be bright.  Even at such a long distance, Yuan Shao could vaguely see the densely packed black shadows everywhere on the river.  Needless to say, we know that those are Gao Yang¡¯s troops who are crossing the river in large numbers!  Morale is low and we cannot attack.  Yuan Shao had no other choice but to withdraw his troops.  If you don't leave, it will be difficult to leave once you are entangled.  "It's over." Looking at Yuan Shao's army leaving in the distance, Xu Huang let out a long sigh of relief.  He won't be able to hold on if he continues.  Not to mention the long-term battles of the sergeants under his command.  Because we were crossing the river lightly, the arrows we carried were almost used up.  If reinforcements had not arrived in time, Xu Huang would have ordered his sergeants to smash all the kerosene tanks and set up a fire array.  "Yuan Shao ran away?" Gao Yang, who was neatly dressed, wearing brand new shiny riding boots and waving a riding whip in his hand, asked with some surprise on his face.  "Reply to the Lieutenant." Xu Huang, with a tired look on his face but excitement in his eyes, responded respectfully, "The traitor Yuan Shao's subordinate quickly left the military camp after dawn without waiting for the cooking pot to be cooked.  Go all the way towards Yecheng." "Humph." Gao Yang raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile, "Yuan Shao is quite smart, he knows that he can't stand up to me in the field.  Therefore, he immediately decided to escape and go back to Yecheng to defend the city. He stored a large amount of supplies and grain in Yecheng, and brought back nearly 100,000 troops to defend the city. He didn't know how long he would be able to defend the city.  "In a siege, the losses will be heavy." "Master Taiwei, what should our army do?" Zhang Liao on the other side bowed and asked.  Naturally, they also know that siege warfare is not easy to fight.  Gao Yang walked slowly up a small dirt slope only a few meters high, watching a large number of sergeants wearing masks busy cleaning the battlefield that was filled with various weird smells.  He raised his brows slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Yuan Shao's plan is very shrewd. He knows that when we cross the river, we must be lightly equipped. Cavalry, horses, equipment, especially food and fodder are all  On the other side. So I don't care about our pursuit. However, Yuan Shao doesn't understand how anxious I am to defeat him." "Order." Gao Yang ordered in a steady voice, "Send the cavalry and their horses over at full speed.  , Put down other things for now. I want to catch up with Yuan Shao and defeat him in the wild!" The most important thing in the battle of the army is to ensure the supply of food and fodder.  With the army out there, tens of thousands of mouths need to eat massive amounts of supplies every day.  The transportation conditions here are extremely poor.  The longer the transportation distance of grain and fodder, the greater the loss, and the less grain can be sent to the front line.  Nothing is heavier than grain.  Yuan Shao took a fancy to this point.  He knew that if Gaoyang only relied on small boats to cross the river, he must give priority to ensuring the supply of food and fodder for the army.??Everything such as transporting horses and cavalry must stay behind.  This would give him enough time for his infantry-based army to return to Yecheng smoothly, and rely on Yecheng's tall city walls and rich materials to fight a dominant defensive battle.  As for fighting in the wild, after seeing the sharp rain of arrows from Gao Yangjun, he no longer had any illusions.  Yuan Shao did not believe that Gao Yang could send a large number of cavalry to pursue him.  Because there is no use if there is too little, and if there is too much, Gaoyang's transportation system cannot support it at all for the time being.  (To be continued.)?¡­
